Nara Brewing's "UNDERWATER: LUMINOUS" on Tap at Bar Fiddich, with Y.MARKET BREWING's Minamichita Blood Orange IPA Nearly Gone
At Bar Fiddich, a beer pub in Minamichicho, Nara City, the latest collaboration between Nara Brewing and Kaze no Mori, "UNDERWATER: LUMINOUS," has been tapped. In addition to a side-by-side comparison with the existing "UNDERWATER," Y.MARKET BREWING's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" is also down to its last few pours.
Hop BroMugi-chan, "UNDERWATER: LUMINOUS" has been tapped at Bar Fiddich in Minamichicho, Nara City.
MugiWait, what is that? Even the name "UNDERWATER" already sounds cool!
Hop BroIt's a special beer from the collaboration between Nara Brewing and Kaze no Mori, using sake yeast, brewing water, and soyashi water.
MugiWhat is soyashi water? The sound of it is so intense, like it's water but somehow weirdly distinctive!
Hop BroSimply put, it's one of the elements involved in the brewing process that affects acidity and aroma, and this one is designed to make the sweetness and acidity stand out clearly.
MugiWow! And the aroma is like watermelon, apples, and ramune? It feels so much like a summer drink!
Hop BroExactly, and with 6% ABV compared with the original 11%, the appeal here is that it's much lighter and easier to drink.
MugiIt changes that much even though it's the same collaboration!? Tasting them side by side sounds like the kind of thing you'd study at the bar!
Hop BroThe original "UNDERWATER" is also available in the bar, so if you line them up and drink them together, you can really tell the difference in how the sweetness is left behind and how the aroma comes through.
MugiAnd Y.MARKET BREWING's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" is almost gone too, right? We'd better hurry!
Hop BroThat's right. Once it's gone, they'll switch to a new fruit beer, so for now it's best to keep an eye on the tap status.
MugiThen there's nothing for it but to head to Nara and have a drink while we still can!
At Bar Fiddich, a beer pub in Minamichicho, Nara City, Nara Prefecture, the latest collaboration between Nara Brewing and the sake brand "Kaze no Mori," "UNDERWATER: LUMINOUS," is now on tap.
According to the post, this beer was brewed using the same ingredients as "UNDERWATER": sake yeast, brewing water, and soyashi water. Its finishing direction, however, is different. This version is designed to retain a firm malt-derived sweetness while bringing its acidity into sharper focus. Compared with "UNDERWATER," the aroma keeps ginjo notes more restrained, while refreshing impressions reminiscent of red-fleshed watermelon, honey-filled apples, and ramune soda come to the front. Its alcohol content is also lower at 6%, compared with "UNDERWATER"'s 11%, and the sweet-tart profile plus moderate carbonation make for a lighter, more brisk drinking experience.
The original "UNDERWATER" is also available in the bar, so tasting the two side by side lets you compare the different expressions born from the same collaboration. For quietly examining a beer's character at a Nara beer pub, this is an ideal lineup.
In addition, Y.MARKET BREWING's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" is down to just a tiny amount. Once that runs out, a new fruit beer is scheduled to be tapped. Anyone interested in guest beer turnover will want to check Bar Fiddich's latest tap status soon.
